Report To The Secretary Of Defense


Increased Joint Avionics Standardization

Could Result In Major Economies

And Operational Benefits


The Congress, the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, and the military services recognize that
standard avionics equipment for military aircraft
is needed. Standard avionics is viewed as de-
sirable, feasible, and economical when com-
pared to the traditional military practice of
procuring aircraft-unique avionics.

In December 1980, the Joint Services Review
Committee for Avionics Components and Sub-
systems was established to promote the de-
velopment of standard avionics equipment.
Based on the Committee estimates, potential
cost avoidance of $770 million could be realized
by developing and procuring five of its subsystem
standardization candidates. However, the Com-
mittee has not received adequate funding sup-
port for its candidates.

This report discusses the potential benefits of
avionics standardization and the impediments
encountered bythe Committee and recommends
actions necessary to achieve desired objectives.
